Listen Up! Cooking By Podcast

This week we have been drinking from a figurative fire hose in order to find some sweet podcasts to make your tastebuds and earbuds smile. This topic is so broad that we have had to narrow it down a bit. So, we’ve left out some of the podcasts that are exclusively nutrition based, and are too broad, or to narrow. Should get us to few that are just right. This one is already begging for a sequel, so we would love to hear if there are some other favorites out there.

The Gastropod Podcast

And now for something completely different. Every two weeks Co-hosts Cynthia Graber and Nicola Twilley serve up an episode that looks at the history and science of food. Each episode looks at a different food and/or farming-related topic, from aquaculture to ancient feasts, from cutlery to chile peppers. They interview experts, visit labs, fields, and archaeological digs, and generally have lots of fun while discovering new ways to understand the world through food. If you want to dig a little deeper into the world of fascinating foods, this could feed your interest.
